They shouldn't be blocking circular kicks with those small gloves. It's crazy. Just lean back and it can't reach you. Ever.

Front and side kicks is a different story.

Tiago Santos’s against Bosse should be mentioned, you can literally hear the sound of bones hitting..

UFC fighter Thiago Santos KO's Steve Bosse with vicious head kick

It only took 29 seconds for Thiago Santos to finish Steve Bosse at UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Romero. Videos by FanBuzz Bosse entered the night with just one loss in 11 fights, but he dropped his hands as he moved into a boxing stance and Santos took advantage with a ferocious head kick...

I you read discussion forums in 2003 people write: "how many kicks do you see in the UFC?".

Should quote one of them in 2026.

This is one of the most advanced head kicks I've seen in the sport. The main reason is his timing but also the hip roll over

I think it was knockout of the year but not an all-timer because it was a basic high roundhouse

I have the Buckley kick #1, the Barboza kick #2, and I guess the Leon kick as #3

The Leon kick was also a high roundhouse but the setup with the punches to force head movement and the fact it turned the title fight in the last minute elevate it

People are going to forget about it in the history books because it was the day Cyril Gane decided to experiment how far you can jam your fingers into someones brain.

Imo Chandler's ko of Ferguson is the best headkick ko of all time. No technique, sheer brutality.

Fight exhibition quality talent, get exhibition results.

It's going to hurt Conor more on a check than it will Kowboy.
